Raising Funds for your School with a Shoe Drive
The Fundraising Company is here to help you make School Fundraising Easy!
Each school is unique, but we have curated programs to meet the needs of:
- Pre-school Fundraising
- Middle School Fundraising
- High School Fundraising
- Charter School Fundraising
- Private School Fundraising
When it comes to raising funds it may be difficult to choose which direction to choose. To make it easier, our fundraisers are completely free, and are flexible around your schedule. No more asking parents for monetary donations, or sending students home with items to sell. Shoe Drive Fundraising is a unique way of raising funds that allow donors to simply clean out their closet. By collecting shoes from your friends, family and community you can raise thousands, just like the following schools!
- Yorba Linda High School collected 1300 pairs of shoes and raised $2,100
- Woodbridge High School collected 10,842 pairs of shoes and raised $7,589
- E.M Baker Elementary School collected 700 pairs of shoes and raised $1,026
- South Pointe Middle School collected 2,000 pairs of shoes and raised $921
The Fundraising Company has worked with hundreds of schools over the past decade raising thousands of dollars. Whether you’re a smaller school, or large, we have school fundraising programs that can fit your needs.
Why run a shoe drive for your School Fundraiser?
We understand that being a teacher, student, or PTA/PTO parent takes up a lot of time out of your already busy schedule. Unlike other school fundraisers, a shoe drive can be run any time of year, for as short a time or as long a time as you need. Start your shoe drive in the spring, and encourage donors to donate shoes from the annual spring cleaning. If you don’t reach your goals by summer, simply contact your fundraising coordinator and put your fundraiser on pause until the fall.
Collecting shoes to raise funds is also easier to do when you have a lot of participants! If you’re running a shoe drive as your school fundraiser you can encourage every student to participate and donate a pair of shoes. Then you can send flyers home with students to collect donations from their friends, family, and community as well. This way you expand your reach, collect even more shoes and raise even more money.
To make your school fundraiser even more fun, you can host pep-rally or sporting events where tickets to get in are a donation of shoes. Increase incentive by offering prizes to students who bring in the most donations, including:
- Extra recess or free time
- Ice Cream Party
- Gift Card
- Bonus Points
- Homework Pass
- Student Appreciation Gifts
